Doug Clark profile

Hello fellow team members. I am a retired Chartered Accountant and I have resided in Mississauga for the last 23 years.
My wife Terry and I have been married for 36 years and we have raised four wonderful daughters. Last May we became first-time grandparents with the arrival of a son (he's the good looking one in the picture) to our eldest daughter & her husband. If you can't tell by the grin on my face, I can provide a wholehearted endorsement of the benefits of grandfatherhood.

My working career included 8 years in public accounting and 22 years in the construction/real estate industry, most recently as CFO with a large general contractor. I retired from active employment in September 2004. In early 2005, I became involved with the establishment of a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Mississauga. This quickly became nearly as consuming as my paid employment had been but it has been infinitely more rewarding. I am currently the Board Chair of the affiliate - a role which I have held since 2007.

I curl twice a week in the winter and putter around the yard in summer as well as play a little golf. Retirement has also given my wife and I the flexibility to travel more frequently; most often on Caribbean cruises and to Hawaii.

This will be my 3rd Global Village trip and I'm looking forward to sharing this experience with my youngest daughter Tara. The previous trips were to El Salvador in 2008 and Honduras in 2007 (Jan & Ron were fellow team members on that trip).

I grew up on a farm so I’ve had lots of experience using a shovel and wheelbarrow - experience that I fully expect to put to use in Guatemala. I am looking forward to meeting all of you (and catching up with Jan & Ron) and sharing the Global Village experience in Guatemala.
